        you can just spend your time in prison rather than serving.

        Still only an option for the privileged - any Israeli who does that had better come from a rich enough family to keep them safe in that jail. I remember what they did to conscientous objectors here in Apartheid-South Africa - not pretty. And Israel is probably far, far worse in that regard.

        You first-worlders do not understand what being born into a militarised fascist state is all about.

            You think actual fascism works the way it’s portrayed in the video games you play, dipshit?

            We literally had a conscientous objector living in one of the streets of one of the towns I lived in as a kid - I guess he picked up the disabling brain damage due to all the “kid glove” treatment you assume he got?

                I could be wrong… maybe Israel treats it’s conscientious objectors all nice and fuzzy, with hot chocolate and marshmellows thrown in.

                But that is not how it worked in the fascist state I grew up in.

          You do get that if I threaten to kill you unless you kill more people that you are actually culpable if you take the latter option right?

            Fascists are not 80s cartoon villains.

            that you are actually culpable

            Of course - even if that’s irrelevant. Why do you think they broadcast their war crimes for the entire world to see? I’ll tell you why… they are spreading the culpability around. It’s a very fascist thing to do.
